A rapist who was convicted of a string of horrific sexual offences has died in prison of lung cancer.

Cezary Anatol Stolarski, 49, of London Road Boston was jailed for 12 years in 2014 for subjecting his victim to a 'terrifying ordeal'.

He was found guilty of false imprisonment, causing a female to engage in sexual activity without consent, attempted sexual assault and two counts of rape at Birmingham Crown Court and locked up in Lincoln Prison.

Stolarski, who had been a heavy smoker all his life, smoking up to 40 cigarettes a day, was diagnosed with lung cancer a year into his jail sentence.

The cancerous mass on his lung eventually spread to his brain and kidney and he was taken to St Barnabas hospice in Lincoln two days before he died on January 20 this year.

The officer who investigated the case against him, Constable Peter Whitesaid, said after conviction that it was a “horrendous” crime that had been taken very seriously.

“This is a significant sentence which we hope will be of some reassurance to the victim who can be sure that Stolarski will be behind bars for a long time.

“We also hope that, on the one hand, this is a deterrent to other potential offenders, demonstrating of the sort of punishment they might expect for rape and, on the other hand, it acts as a reassurance to other victims and encourages them to come forward and report their ordeal.”
